IMPROVEMENT IN TOY-CARRIAG-ES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making parl: of thesame To all whom it may concern Be it known that we,"Jorn CONDELL andARCHE LAUs CONDELL, of Plainville, county of Hartford, and State ofConnecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inToy-Oarriages, or Gigs; and to enable others skilled in the art to makeand use the saine, we will proceed to describe its construction and,

operation by referring to the drawings, in which the The nature of thisinvention will` be understood from the specification and drawings.

lThe object desired to be attained thereby is to produce activity of thechild, and afford amusement, as a stimulus thereto, and at the same timeproduce a cheap and desirable article as a childs toy.

In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a side elevation.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of a modification of this improvement,showing one ofthe various modes of constructing, as arranged withsprings, tilting-post, floor, two Wheels, and crank-axle, Ste.

a is a handle by which the toy is held and operated.

b is a wheel, having its axis, c, secured in the lower end of thehandle. y

d is a post secured to the lower end of the handle.

e is a reciprocating arm, one end of which is arranged to play up anddown in a line with the post d.

The opposite endis secured to a. crank or spoke, f, of the Wheel b.

g g are jacks or images.

The arms 7L are secured to the post l1, while the legs i are secured tothe head of the arin e.

Now, it will be seen that, as the wheel b is trundled, it causes thearni e to reciprocate up and down upon the post d, causing the images torise, advance heads toward each other, and back, successively, eachrevolution ot' the wheel b. V same letters indicate like parts iueach ofthe ligures.

lt will be clearly seen that the post or guide-way d may be arrangedinra horizontal as well as in a per- Vrndieular position, and that theiniagesmay represent sawing, planing, 8tc.,.a nd that they may hearranged upon a door and springs, with two or more wheels.

AWe believe we have thus shown'the nature, construetion, and advantageof this invention, so as to enable others skilled in the art to maltethe same therefrom. What We claim, therefore, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is-

A toy-carriage, the handle (t, post d, Wheel l), arm c, and Aimages g,arranged and operating substantially as described. y
